Paragraph 89
 

The draft Code provides for regular reporting on the financing of initiative groups and election campaigns, including information on their accrued income and expenditure (including full name and surname of the donor, personal identification number, residence, day, month and year of birth, place of work, position held (occupation/type of activity), party membership, income or donor financing sources, state identification number and name of the legal person), with copies of the primary documents attached, in accordance with the procedure approved by the CEC (Article 58(1) of the draft Code). For all types of elections and referenda, such reports are to be submitted to the CEC on a weekly basis (Article 58(3) of the draft Code). The draft Code (Article 58(5)) introduces the possibility of electronically submitting the campaign finance documents. This is in line with the 2020 ODIHR and Venice Commission Guidelines on political party regulation which state that “Digitalising information and submitting it to the regulatory body in its digitalised, easily searchable and reusable form can facilitate oversight and therefore minimise the need for paper-based procedures”.
